Seven - 1950's Halloween Costumes - Taking Us Back
Remember the so-called "good old days" this year by putting together 50s Halloween costumes for yourself and for your family
. If you do not already own a greaser wig, poodle skirts, or any hot rod cars, do not worry. It is easy to start from scratch. Well, we can' really help you with the hot rod, but we can help you with the garments! Add a little personal touch, and consider making it a family affair. Your family's'50s Halloween costumes will surely turn headsThere are a few basics to remember. Beyond that you can add your own dashes of color and personality. Just as there are "cliques" today, there were social divisions in the'50s. Which one you choose is up to you.
The men may gravitate towards the greaser wig and leather jacket mode to recreate the "Fonzie" inspired character. Another option would be to do the opposite and put on a bowtie while sporting a pocket protector. Pull those pants up to your chest area so those white socks show and you'll represent the nerd version of a'50s Halloween costumes.
Ladies, you have two choices before you go as well. You can do the 50s inspired poodle skirt; pair it with a white shirt and matching white socks, and you've got a classic representation of'50s Halloween costumes for women (or girls). But this 'wholesome' girl is not the only one we've seen from the'50s; there is also the 'bad' girl. This girl would, no doubt, be wearing skin tight pants on bottom while her top was covered in a 'Pink Ladies' type jacket (again, think "Grease").
The little ones have not been forgotten either. They can wear miniature version of the'50s Halloween costumes. So get that poodle skirt in the little girl size and check on a greaser wig for little junior as well. Wouldn't it be cute if mother and daughter mimicked each other the same way father and son did? I don't know anyone who wouldn't love seeing little Olivia Newton John or John Travolta from "Grease" on Halloween!
So what if you think the'50s were only about conforming; now is your chance to take the bland out of the decade. Jazz up your family's costumes this Halloween. Add extra studs and gems to all the'50s Halloween costumes for a more impressive display.
If you really want to impress them this year, why not try speaking the language of the 50s. It wouldn't take long to get online and pick up some hints on catch phrases of the day. Finding out patterns in the speech of the time can add an extra dimension to your'50s Halloween costumes. Folks will see you and feel like they've stepped into another time if done right.
Go all out - make your family's'50s Halloween costumes the best they can be. Simple is good, but a more elaborate design may garner more attention. The outfits should be comfortable and you should allow yourself to be carried back to the 50s, if only for one night. All that's left is to decide if you want to go in the direction of the 'cool' or the 'nerdy' version for all of your'50s Halloween costumes. Enjoy the nostalgia of this night; Halloween won't be back for another year! Edited by Hetsil Protage
